Amerigroup/Amerivantage
Part D prescription drugs covered by Amerivantage are listed in the Amerigroup five-tier formulary. The
formulary includes all generic drugs covered under the Part D program, as well as many brand-name drugs,
nonpreferred brands and specialty drugs. A copy of the formulary on the Amerigroup website at
https://providers.Amerigroup.com. From the Provider Resources and Documents library, select Pharmacy
Tools, then Medicare Formulary or request a copy from the Provider Relations department. Some of these
drugs have precertification or step-therapy requirements or quantity limits. Providers may request
authorization for a drug or coverage of a drug not on the formulary by contacting the Amerigroup Provider
Services at 1-866-805-4589. Members should obtain Part D covered drugs from a network pharmacy
pursuant to a physician’s prescription.
Please refer to the formulary when prescribing for Amerigroup members. Though most medications on the formulary are covered without Prior Authorization (PA), a few agents will require you to obtain an authorization.
